WAYWRN: Because there aren't enough characters in this field

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

At least you were in Britland. Imagine being around Americans doing this nonstop with fake and shitty British accents.

Life Of Brian is endlessly quotable though.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

Life of Brian's a piece of shit... when you look at it.





Only joking. It's the one I like most.

...or if they're named Arrested Development....right? Right?!

Obviously.

They are re-airing the performance several times at one of the movie theatres here over the next few weeks. I would love to go watch it, but I don't think I could get past the "quote every line from every sketch" guy that will inevitably be at every showing.

Monty Python = funny.

People quoting Monty Python = not funny.

Think about every person you have ever known that has tried to quote/imitate Monty Python, and I think you will find those people are just not very funny.

What?! We trained our son to recite the "help! Help! I'm being repressed!" bit by the time he was eight. It was adorable.

Our last visit to the 70mm Film Festival was tonight for "The Master." I'm not quite sure what it was about, but it was very enjoyable. Joaquin Phoenix hardly seemed like the same actor from the last time we saw him, in "Her." Well-acted all the way around, actually.

When a child quotes Python:

1) in context and;
2) way before is really appropriate

Then it's acceptable and fun

[Corporal_Hicks]

Dalty is correct here.

Adults whiff on both of these counts 100% of the time.

[Dalty]

Of course, if I ever have a daughter and hear her boyfriend singing to her "Sit on my face, and tell me that you love me!" that will be the point that the shotgun comes out.

To be fair, he now gets really cheesed off if we interrupt watching a movie to parrot the dialogue. I told him, however, that any girl he brings home will be subjected to the Python test: if she doesn't laugh at the fish-slapping dance, we don't approve. Luckily the current girl passes.

[Jubbers]

I had to take a Python test to get my new job. Not a whole lot of Monty involved, though.

[neglet]

What? With a beer company, I'd think a lot of silly walks would be involved.

[Dalty]

But Jubboiter is the messiah...... kinda....

[Dalty]

Tonight with G&T.... Captain Phillips, or Tremors?

Depends how silly I feel.

[Dalty]

Tremors won. I'll save Captain Phillips for the weekend.

[Dalty]

Correct decision. I had forgotten that this movie is all kinds of awesome!!!

[Dalty]

Never seen any of the sequels.

[Adam54]

I don't know about Tremors, but Captain Phillips was awesome. Absolute travesty that Hanks didn't even get an Oscar nomination.

[Dalty]

Wait..... you've never seen Tremors???

[Adam54]

I haven't. Honestly, I know nothing about it beyond the title.

[Dalty]

Ohhhhh maaaaaan! Think 50s monster movie with Kevin Bacon on his best form ever and it's tongue so firmly in its cheek you can't help but love it. Plus, rednecks!

[Adam54]

When was it made?

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

It was made in '89 and released in '90.

[Adam54]

Do I need to Netflix this? Is it time to resurrect the "Classics Adam needs to watch" thread?

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

It's all right. It's kinda dumb, but it plays it straight. Decent performances. It's sort of like what Jaws would be if Jaws were made in the late eighties and featured sandworms instead of a shark.
